Wind power conversion apparatus driven by fly wheel

Abstract

A wind power conversion apparatus driven by a fly wheel includes a wind channel, a fly wheel and a rotating shaft. The wind channel is configurated into a long hollow tapered tubular shape with both ends open. One end, which being larger is cross section, serves as a wind inlet, while to other smaller one serves as a wind outlet so as to conduct the wind flow into the apparatus via the wind channel. A fly wheel with several wind vanes is installed in the wind channel proximate to the wind outlet so as to convert the wind force into an adjustable rotating torque of the fly wheel. The fly wheel is able to keep rotating about the rotating shaft by its inertia for a certain duration of time even after the wind ceases to blow. With this apparatus, the kinetic energy of the wind blow is converted into an adjustable and storable mechanical energy to utilize.

1. A wind power conversion apparatus driven by fly wheel comprising:
 a wind channel configurated into a long hollow tapered tubular shape with both ends open, one end which being larger in cross section for serving as a wind inlet, while the other smaller one for serving as a wind outlet; 
 a fly wheel installed in said wind channel proximate to said wind outlet and having a circular base plate and several wind vanes provided symmetrically around the center of said base plate, wherein the essential weight of said fly wheel is uniformly distributed around the outer edge of said base plate; and 
 a rotating shaft configurated into a cylindrical column in connection with said fly wheel to output its rotational power, 
 wherein a serrated notch is formed at the bottom edge of a continuous wall erected on said fly wheel, while a downward hook is provided at the edge of said rotating shaft at the position corresponding to said serrated notch so as to engage with each other. 
 
     
     
       2. The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein several air windows are formed among said wind vanes of said fly wheel. 
     
     
       3. The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein said rotating shaft and said fly wheel rotate in the same direction. 
     
     
       4. The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein said rotating shaft is able to be in connection with a mechanical shaft of any energy storage device to output its rotational power. 
     
     
       5. The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein said base plate of said fly wheel is attached with weights. 
     
     
       6. The apparatus of claim l, wherein the surface of said wind vanes is granulated by coating.
